Frustration

I’m a little frustrated with the blogging software right now.Â I’m sure it’s the learning curve and that I’ll figure it out soon.Â However, if someone knows WordPress and would like to help me figure out how to get my Blogroll to show on the left hand side or to have my Ravelry Progress bars show up, I’d appreciate it.

I’m about to head out to Stitches Midwest, but before I go I want to announce some winners.Â I have three winners from the Finish-a-long Contest.Â The first winner is getting a skein of Yarni sock yarn.Â It’s beautifully soft yarn dyed in St. Paul, MN.Â I only know of one store that carries this yarn, and that’s the Yarnery on Grand
Ave.Â This skein goes to Diane, for finishing 12 projects over the course of the contest.

The next winner is getting this book, The Queensland Collection Book: Jane Ellison #3.Â Sorry for the crummy picture, for some reason I took the photo with my phone instead of the camera.Â Rookie mistake.Â This is donated by Barb at Fabric Works.Â Thanks Barb!!

The book is going to Lisa for having finished the oldest project.Â Lisa, send me your address and I’ll get this out to you when I get back from Stitches.

There is one more prize, but you’ll have to wait until next week for that.Â If you haven’t emailed me a list of what you finished, there’s still time.Â You have until Monday.Â I forgot my list of contest participants back at the office.Â The prize is pretty yarn donated by Fabric Works.Â Also coming next week will be some finished object pictures.Â I finished one in time to be counted in the contest and one I just finished last night.

Enjoy Stitches and my email will be in your in box when you get to it! I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. I am addicted to Sugar Rush and this will give me a reason to try their other products.

To get your blogroll to show up first you need to make sure all your links have been assigned a category. Then go into your “Widgets” portion of the admin (under “Appearance”) and make sure the “Links” widget is moved over to your sidebar.

Is the Ravelry progress bar something you grab from Ravelry? If so, let me know where to find it and I can research getting it on for you.
